The Chennai Climate Action plan has clearly recommended the GCC to move away from WTEs because of the high green house gas (GHG) (68% more than coal) emissions.#CannotBreatheInDelhi #NoWTEsInChennai @Varna
Chennai's plan to build a 1,200 ton/day incinerator (WTE) is disastrous for its climate, air, health, livelihoods and finances. Acc to the Chennai Climate Action plan, Waste-to-energy is a perfect recipe for Chennai Climate disaster. #CannotBreatheInDelhi #NoWTEsInChennai @Varna
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), burning just one kilogram of waste in an incinerator will produce 5,500 litres of toxic emissions! #CannotBreatheInDelhi #NoBurn @Varna

WTE incineration prevents reduction of waste, reuse, and recycling while excluding local recycling and waste management economies. It directly impacts the livlihoods of over 10,000 waste pickers in the city.#CannotBreatheInDelhi #NoWTEsInChennai @Varna

The proposed WTE incinerator to burning 1200 tons of garbage will emit 1440 tons of CO2 everyday, equivalent to emissions from 3,60,000 cars!#CannotBreatheInDelhi #NoWTEsInChennai
